Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state under Richard Nixon,
died at the age of 100 this week. One of the most famous and
powerful diplomats of the 20th century, some will remember him as
the person who won a Nobel peace prize for his work negotiating the
end of the Vietnam war. For others, he will forever be known as a
war criminal. So what is Kissinger’s legacy? This week, Jonathan

20th century, and why back in the 1970s he had the opportunity to
